What differentiates FreshBooks from other similar products?

You manage to keep accounting in an easy and simple way, you can create invoices without many complications, has a great customer service that are always ready to answer your questions and solve problems, mostly is simple to use fulfills what it promises and helps me to feel less stressed in my day to day with respect to work.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The billing issue has been very tedious, but with freshbook it became more bearable. On the topic of Application Programming Interfaces. It appeals to me because it brings everything together in one convenient place. All the software is so easy to use that anyone can learn to use it; creating invoices based on time recorded; and single invoices or flat rate pricing. easy billing and time tracking. I was able to integrate it with Teamwork project management software so that more complex jobs that require detailed time tracking versus tasks and milestones could be tracked there and then my time could be exported to Freshbooks.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The absence of features like email automation and scheduling, which are provided by apps like Dubsado and Honeybook, would be an example. One thing I would like to see the developers improve is to make sure that updates take at least an hour and not much longer. The feature I like the least is that this software does not create quarterly tax estimates that are required in accounting.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

The product is very easy to use and intuitive. the integration into our current business process was seamless and quick. The ability to keep this together allows for a quick glance and ensures everything is ready to go. I like creating invoices and also the general ledger I like the most as it has been a great help.

Pros

Helps Innovate
